Apple may be the envy of the industry thanks to its 64-bit A7 mobile processor, but even the Retina Display will turn green with jealousy over a new Chinese smartphone with a whopping 2K pixel display.
CNET reported today that the opening salvo in the battle for high-resolution smartphone displays has already been fired as a Chinese manufacturer thumbs its nose at 1080p HD by announcing a handset with a 2K screen.
The company in question is Oppo, who revealed plans for a new handset called the Find 7 via Twitter, complete with a 2K display that packs in a whopping 2560 x 1440 pixels in a screen of undisclosed size.
Unfortunately, that's about the extent of what Oppo has disclosed about the Find 7, which will likely arrive sometime early next year running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean or later.
CES or bust!
Just over a year ago, Oppo beat every other smartphone maker to the punch with the Find 5, an Android smartphone that crunched 441 pixels per inch into a thin handset with a five-inch display.
Oppo's teaser image offers little clue as to what the Find 7 might bring to the table, although current rumors point to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB RAM, powered by a 4000mAh battery.
Of course, part of that equation is contingent upon Qualcomm shipping its latest quad-core processor, which isn't expected to power smartphones until sometime in the first half of 2014.
While Oppo may have gotten the jump on 2K smartphone displays, attendees at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas are likely to see competing handsets pop up on the radar in early January.
